Actress Karrueche Tran confirmed that she was dating Colorado coach Deion Sanders, a.k.a "Coach Prime," reports confirmed on Friday. Sanders, 58, is in his third year as CU's coach.

When fans found out about Sanders' relationship with Tran, 37, they shared some wild reactions. Some joked about the age gap between the two.

"He's old enough to be her dad," one tweeted.

"Realistically what does a 58 year old have in common with a 37 year old?" another added.

"Why is she dating someone that’s enough to be her dad tho?" a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

"What could they possibly talk about at dinner," one wrote.

"Karrueche Tran confirms she found a new sugar daddy," another added.

"She really made a career dating famous people," a user tweeted.

Speculations about Sanders and Tran's relationship began in July when the Colorado coach underwent bladder surgery to prevent a cancerous spread. Tran was spotted beside Coach Prime in a video during his procedure and during his recovery.

Sanders, however, has yet to comment on his relationship with Tran.
